Uninformed Political Punditry
Last weekend, political strategists from the Clinton, Obama, and Edwards campaigns met for a forum at the Kennedy School of Government held a forum. There, Clinton's long-time pollster/smooth operator Mark Penn attacked Obama for allegedly equivocating on the war in Iraq while, shockingly enough, defending his candidate. He also made the following observation: "Do you think Hillary Clinton is the kind of person who, if president, would have started the Iraq war? No."
I'm still trying to parse that sentence, but I can't figure out how that's a good thing for Clinton. Does it mean that she allowed herself to be manipulated into a war that she didn't really support? If you support a war, which tends to result in, you know, death, shouldn't you be really certain about it?
